mostly, i didn't like her because of what she was wearing. it was basically a crocheted blanket with a hole in it for her head; it looked like her neck was wearing some kind of ridiculous skirt. i don't understand how she could comfortably move her arms around under that thing- especially because one hand was weighed down with a diamond the size of jupiter.

she talked on about the benefits of using opti-free versus renu. her slide show about tetronic 1304, an ingredient in the contact lens solution, went on for approximately four days. it's a good thing she brought lunch; i occupied my mind by rearranging my sandwich into what looked like a snowman. i used french fries to make the arms.

"what kind of solution do you use," she asked me. i couldn't very well tell her, whatever i can snag for free, so i responded, "renu. i think i'm allergic to... technotronic 2000."

she's giving us one dollar- or 100 pennies- for every box of opti-free we sell. she had selling tips, too. "always touch the person you're talking to. touch their hand, their shoulder. use eye contact. pretend you're talking to a friend."

i'm not touching anyone. i'm pissed off because this woman in the sweater/blanket is leaving for a european vacation in about a week. i want to go on a european vacation. and a dollar a box just ain't going to cut it.
